BLewis-November 21, 2007 Tuck Everlasting - Natalie Babbit
Would you like to find "the fountain of youth"? Winnie Foster did; should she partake of it? Winnie is a 12-year-old girl, running away from her over-protected, only-child life. She meets an amazing family, the Tucks, who are "stuck" at the same age for all eternity. A wonderful tale of the cycle of life, told in the lyrical prose of the talented Ms. Babbit.
Fabreadingteacher--November 15, 2007 Amos and Boris by William Steig
This is my favourite book of all times. It is a picture book with vivid vocabulary and sophisticated word choice, and it tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a mouse and a whale. It is a perfect book to remember how valuable and enduring friendships are. This book will tug at your heart and make you reminisce about old friendships.
mslibrary-ISB November 8, 2007 The Illustrated Mum by Jacqueline Wilson
Jacqueline Wilson is well known for her books for girls, but The Illustrated Mum will interest a large audience. It's about two sisters who are living with their emotinally unstable mother. Their mother's behavior is often bizarre and she has tattoos all over her body, which explains the title. You probably have already understood that the family is basically dysfunctional. The book deals with issues such as acceptance, peers, and identity. I really loved it and Jacqueline Wilson gets the characters just right. **IainCarter** November 7, 2007 Waiting for Anya by Michael Morpurgowrites:
I'm a big fan of Michael Morpurgo after coming across a book review for his WW1 novel 'Private Peaceful' a few years back. Waiting for Anya is historical fiction showing how a small, remote village in southern France is affected by a distant war. The writing is beautiful, and any book showing how stupid war has got to be good!
